I know more about
Learned Helplessness
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessnessThan
Arrested Development
Learned Helplessness seems to apply to people paralyzed in parts of their life or unable to move past certain blocks. I have not looked into Arrested Development as much, but can think of others in Mormonism that this might apply, especially females in my experience.
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/7417The author of this article on Religious Trauma Syndrome references Former Mormons in the middle of the article. Seems to have applications as well, although the theory has critics that claim it is an atheist movement's way of making some religions pathological.
I'm okay with that, but perhaps others are not.
